Abstract excerpt
Human papillomavirus Type 16 (HPV16) infections can cause neoplasia, which is thought to be closely associated with the development of cervical cancers. In the study, we attempted to construct a DNA plasmid encoding a HPV16 capsid protein (L1) and a HPV16 oncoprotein (E7), which was capable of preventing HPV16 infection and eliminating HPV16-infected cells. A plasmid, L1E7hpSCA1, encoding the L1 and E7 genes with...
